This little yummy is also known as an Oven Pancake, German Oven Pancake, Oven Puffed Pancake, Dutch Baby, etc. There are many correct versions of this breakfast wonder but here is my Grandma Kleinpeter's recipe. I make this often because it is so easy and I have fond memories of it growing up.
You will need a medium sized cast iron skillet (you could use another oven safe pan of the same size but I can't promise how it will turn out). Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and be sure to put your skillet in the oven as it is heating.
Ingredients (can you see why a homesteader would love this recipe):
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs (you can lightly beat before adding to other ingredient)
Butter
I often double the recipe. Don't over mix. Some lumps and bumps are OK. Remove your now hot skillet carefully from the oven. Place butter in skillet and melt until bubbly (the recipe calls for 1/3 cup but I NEVER use that much). Pour batter into skillet and return to oven for roughly 10-12 minutes or until puffy. If the magic worked the pancake will puff up like a parachute and the kids will love it! Don't be upset if it doesn't. This recipe will grow on you and you will add your own special way. No matter what it is amazing to eat.
Serve with fresh berries, syrup, powdered sugar, jelly, jam, lemon, whatever! Yummy...
